President Obama, after pressuring Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives, was successful in getting House Speaker John Boehner to extent the payroll tax and unemployment compensation for two months.
As I understand it, Boehner will try to get it passed in the House by unanimous consent.
If that fails, he will call the House back into session for a full vote.
This is a real victory for American workers and those who are without jobs.
